May Recommendations Category (optional): Science Fiction (5 Movies)

May Featured Category (optional): Mothers (5 Movies)
Movies about mothers or movies with strong maternal characters.

The remaining 15 movies/3 categories for the challenge are up to you to categorize however you want.
___________________________________

The Usual Fine Print:

• 50 movies is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Platinum:
  60 Movies - Platinum
  50 Movies - Gold
  40 Movies - Silver
  30 Movies - Bronze
  20 Movies - Copper
  10 Movies - Coal
  <10 Movies - Why are you on this site?
• If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
• If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.

I won't be able to squeeze in any more. Progress stalled over the past week for one reason or another. Over the weekend, movies have been the last thing on my mind since my dad went to the hospital for Pancreatitis. It'll likely affect next month too. This year is all a mess.
